<< During the Leidenfrost effect, a thin insulating vapor layer separates an evaporating liquid from a hot solid. (AA) demonstrate that Leidenfrost vapor layers can be sustained at much lower temperatures than those required for formation. >>
<< the explosive failure point is nearly independent of material and fluid properties, suggesting a purely hydrodynamic mechanism determines this threshold. >>️
